Why This Matters?

❄ Imagine standing out in the freezing winter—no warm clothes, no shelter, nowhere to go. ❄

That’s the reality for so many of our community animals.

Winter is an unforgiving season for street dogs. Shivering, cold, and often alone, they fight a daily battle to survive.

Many don’t make it through the harsh weather.

Let’s change that.

Let's warm up the winters for our Goodest Boys and Girls in a Meet Up getting your hands dirty in doing good with think alike people.

For a price of an Aloo Patty, you can bring warmth and comfort to a furry friend making sure no paw sleeps on the cold ground this season.

What's Happening?

A heartwarming farm meet-up where you’ll spend a relaxed Sunday filled with:

Friends & farm vibes
Hands-on kindness
Stubble Snuggles
The joy of making something that truly matters.

We’ll transform humble jute gunny bags and farm stubble (parali) into durable, cozy, eco-friendly Desi Beds for community dogs.

Just a few hours of your time = One warm winter for community dogs.

How It Works?

In-Person Only: We believe in the magic of real community presence, hence we want you here!—so this is strictly an on-ground experience and no remote donations. Everyone who joins contributes in one of two easy ways:

Maker

You pay ₹29 for the raw materials of each bed you want to make. It covers the raw material (bori, string, needle), transportation of the raw materials, and some administrative costs of the activity etc.

Then you choose what to do with the bed you made:

Take It → Place it for a stray dog near your home
Donate It → Leave it at the farm for our distribution drive

Same price, same effort — you decide where the warmth goes. Participants must collect their beds the same day. We can’t store completed beds.

Volunteer

If you'd like to help but can’t buy materials, you can join as a Volunteer by contributing ₹1 as a symbolic commitment.

You’ll make beds using sponsored materials, and all the beds you make will go to dogs in need via our distribution drives.

Commit your time / Volunteer

In Short

Rs 29 = 1 bed; you make it (and take it or donate it)

Re 1 = volunteer; make beds that will be donated via Avyarth (no need to pay for raw materials)
